The Callaway County Sheriff's Office says Bittle was arrested Friday and released on $10,000 bond. Online court records don't list a lawyer for Bittle.

Callaway County Circuit Clerk Judy Groner says Bittle was a former supervisor in her office who was fired last October.

A state audit of the circuit court released last week found at least $355 was missing because of lax oversight and accounting issues. Groner says her office has implemented all of the audit recommendations.

Bittle's first court appearance will be Dec. 6 in Callaway County Circuit Court.
